Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Charger's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 Dodge Charger. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Charger may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Dodge Charger battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Charger stranded. Your Dodge Charger won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2008 Dodge Charger engine. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 Charger in the chart at the top of this page.

Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Dodge Charger? You know your Dodge Charger better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving.

  •  Why are my Dodge dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Dodge Charger in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
